Even though clockwork ROM Manager is installed,
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.koushikdutta.rommanager
When I try to run it - it says: "you must have ClockwordMod Recovery installed before continuing! Install the recovery thropugh ROM Manager first"
Normally you would just download it but how is this done on a phone without internet connection, can I download the .apk file somewhere then move it to phone? Android phones are Motorola Cliq and CliqXT.

ClockworkMod recovery is not an application (.apk file). It's an image file. You can get the images here: http://clockworkmod.com/rommanager.
Thank you. How do you install the capability to run the image recovery process by simply running it from the ClockwordMod App, not by manually rebooting?
In other words, on a phone with internet access, you simply "Install the recovery thropugh ROM Manager first".
But how do you install it manually without internet access. How do you install the image file you linked to?

See here: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Motorola_Cliq:_Full_Update_Guide and follow the "Installing a Custom Recovery Image" section. Change the names as needed.
I'm not sure we understand each other so let me try to clarify and by the way thanks for your help:
Goal:
1. From within running CynogenMod launch ROM Manager >
2. Manage and Restore Backups >
3. Select exiting backup > Restore > OK
It automatically reboots and does its thing.
So now, if you have a phone on which ROM Manager is not installed, you install it and launch it from already running CyanogenMod *however* you get this message:
"you must have ClockwordMod Recovery installed"
It then simply downloads something and from then on you are able to use the ROM Manager to restore existing backups not by custom rebooting but by simply running it from within a running CyanogenMod.
Isn't the image file you linked to for custom booting into the restore environment from which you run the restore? I am trying to "run" the restore by simply lunching the ROM Manager which then itself reboots and runs the restore automatically.
What is it exactly that is installed when you get this message so that I can install it on a phone without an internet connection.
I know how to custom boot by holding the button etc. I just want to not custom boot and have it launch automatically by simply using a shortcut and launching the restore process which itself reboots and does its thing.

The image I linked to is the "thing" Rom Manager downloads when it gives that message (if you have an internet connection). Flashing that file and linking it to Rom Manager will remove that error.
Got it.
Selecting Flash ClockworkMod Recovery from ROM manager to try to use the img file you linked to results in an "error while downloading from server. Please make sure that you have a stable internet connection..."
So that does not work for the thread topic, which is doing this w/o internet connection.
Will try the Android SDK Tools method.
0. The Cliq XT is known as Zeppelin.
1. Install Motorola USB drivers:
http://www.motorola.com/Support/US-...tware_and_Drivers/USB-and-PC-Charging-Drivers
2. Install Java SE Runtime Environment (JRE): http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/
3. Get Android SDK zip: http://developer.android.com/sdk/
4. Unzip it and start SDK Manager.exe and download Android SDK Tools.
5. Get ClockworkMod Recovery, for example:
http://download.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-4.0.0.5-zeppelin.img
Copy recovery-clockwork-4.0.0.5-zeppelin.img to
Android SDK folder android-sdk-windows\platform-tools
7. Phone Settings > Applications > Unknown sources (select green check mark to activate it)
Settings > Applications > Development > Enable USB Debugging
Make sure the phone is rooted. Check if Superuser icon is in the drawer menu.
*** Connect the phone to computer but DO NOT enable USB Drive ***
8. Use DOS to navigate to the android-sdk-windows\platform-tools directory
for example, if the folder location is C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools
then in type this in DOS:
c:
cd android-sdk-windows\platform-tools
adb shell
su
***You must press on Allow on the phone when prompted***
cd /sdcard/
flash_image recovery recovery-clockwork-4.0.0.5-zeppelin.img
I have Android 4.0.4 device (Bluebo B3000) with MTK 6575.
I'm trying to backup my ROM.
I'm using the MTK Flash_Tool_v3.1206.01.
I do "read back" to create a backup ROM file:
- I select the "read back" tab.
- I select the scatter file
- I specify the file name
- I select the read method "read page" (I also tried the other methods. same result).
- I specify an address range to read. For example 0x0000 - 0x1000
- I press "read back" button.
- I put the battery into the device.
- I get a success message.
The backup file is created. But the file is full with zeros.
When I try to read the file for writing a ROM, the FlashTool tells me that the file is corrupted.
What I am doing wrong?
I was backup to file.backup from "android system recovery 3e" (I move to my PC)...
after i have edit file at "/system/build.prop" >> error and phone can't start.
I try restore file.backup (from sdcard removable disk), but "android system recovery 3e" doesn't find this file... (because sdcard rom priority).
Can you help me restore this file?
(Note: Right now, only connect to pc via fastboot and adb.)
File.backup: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BzsqEjELqV2ERk5IQlgzckhzaFU/edit?usp=sharing
I need help! Had the stock, anything that was written I got, but after a few steps something went wrong!
"Flash recovery" -> doing the steps... making sure that TWRP version is 2.8.3.0... Go to wipe//format data//typing yes...
And getting this:
"failed to get default contexts and file mode storage files"
"formatting data using make_ext4fs function"
What should I do!?
Hello,
This morning I try to install a Custom ROM so I follow a tutorial on XDA Developer. First, I installed TWRP Recovery with Linux (I have a dual boot computer I use for windows for all). After I formated my device with the tab : Wipe, I delete /dalvik /system /cache and all others. Then, try to install lot of Custom ROM (like POISON v2.2, OmniROM, etc..). And every time, it write : "checking MD5 file ... no MD5 file found" and it reboot TWRP.
Can someone help me ? Sorry for my English speaking, I'm french and I'm not very good in English and on the computer..
Thank you beforehand
Untick the MD5 thing in settings. You don't need it.

I don't find where is he tick..
How can I untick him ?
In setting I have only these option:
- Zip signature verification
- Reboot after installation is complete
- Use rm -rf instead of formatting
- Disable free space check before backup
- Skip MD5 generation during backup
- Enable MD5 Verfication of Backup files
- Use 24-hour clock
- Reversed navbar layout
- Prompt to install TWRP app if not installed
- Simulate actions for theme testing
And there are all untick except "Prompt to install TWRP app if not installed" and "Skip MD5 generation during backup"..
Thank you
